In Naruto: With Shanks Template

As the intimate moment between Naruto and Hinata continued, Sasuke who was sitting on a tree branch behind Temari and Gara who was standing on a tree branch like a bat behind Sasuke were both stunned.

Sasuke was aware of Gara's presence and was going to point that out after his cool entrance, seeing the conflict building. But their plan was thwarted by whatever was going on there.

Even Gara who eagerly wanted to announce that he would kill everyone here could not do anything. He saw something new at that time.

'Why are two people hugging each other in the middle of the road? And why is that boy trying to eat that girl? Is he a monster like me?'

Shukaku who heard Gara's thoughts didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. But he did sense Kurama's scent from the red-haired boy in front of Gara, and he wanted to have a go at Kurama so he was urging Gara to take action.

Just as Gara was about to interrupt, Naruto spoke first, "Hey Sasuke and the sand guy, why don't you both come down and join the party here."

Both Sasuke and Gara came down, and Temari and Kankuro went to stand behind Gara Meanwhile Sasuke stood beside Naruto and Hinata. He wanted to ask something but seeing the bad mood of Hinata, his instincts told him not to utter a single word that would displease her and he decided to not take a risk.

"Since the Sand trio here is our guest, how about we forget this matter."

Naruto said in a laid-back manner and started moving forward but before he moved he paused and took out some thin books and handed them to Temari, Kankuro, Gara, Sasuke, Sakura and the three kids.

"These are my new art style called Manga. I will release five new manga series in my fan-fest. You will get an official announcement in Konoha Times regarding the manga release, but I want you all to make enough publicity about it.

The book you all have only contains a couple of chapters from the mangas I am planning to release. And this time the genre is Romance and Slice of Life. Do give it a read and provide a review.

Anyways, I am out." With this Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata went away. Gara wanted to say something but was attracted by the so-called manga that he started reading.

"Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie... what the hell is that?" asked Kankuro

The sand trio had a lot of questions. They wanted to scout the Konoha genins but what they got is just a thin b...manga. Do they want to read Romance stories here? No. But the Cover is really interesting. But wait a minute.

"What does he mean by his fan-fest? I heard that fan-fest is hosted by the author of Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings and One Piece."

Sakura seeing their confusion replied with a straight face, "Well, you just met that author. He is Naruto Uzumaki. And apparently, he is releasing five new stories in addition to the original planned event. Well, I am off, I want to see what these new stories are and they are my favourite genre."

Sakura and the rest of the three kids also took their leave, leaving the two of them stunned until Gara's voice broke them out of their stupor and the following words shocked them more.

"This manga called 'Teasing Master Takagi-san' is really interesting. You will buy all the mangas in the future or I will kill you!" Gara immersed in manga went off towards the inn.

"What happened to Gara, he didn't even like other Novels but somehow he found Manga interesting. Was there any Genjutsu, No Gara is a monster, genjutsu like that won't work. And was that Naruto Uzumaki? He is so young and also a Konoha shinobi.

Today is just full of surprises."

"Uhum" Kankuro just gave a nod not listening to his sister's words as he is also busy reading the manga now.

Temari deadpanned at Kankuro, was she the only one thinking rationally? To check it out she also read the first few pages and then got hooked and moved towards the inn.

Plan to scout Konoha, it can be done later. What's important is to read the manga first. The stories are really interesting, and this new way of art, telling stories through pictures, is quite a novel idea.

When Naruto sensed the sand trio engrossed in the Manga leaving aside their mission, he just smirked.

'Maybe through art, I can bring true peace to the Ninja world.

Yup, Pain is just a fool. Why bother collecting Tailed Beast and creating some country-destroying weapon when you can develop manga and anime to control the people.

This world lacks any proper forms of entertainment. If I am successful in creating anime also,(using fuinjutsu) then probably I can take over this whole world. I know this plan has a lot of loopholes, but currently, I have my firm established all over the world, maybe I'll move ahead with this plan.

This world needs to feel the true horror of an Otaku.'

.....

White Zetsu: We have received information, that the third Exam will be held one day after the fan-fest. And Orochimaru will also launch his attack on Sand Shinobi during the third exam.

Black Zetsu: A lot of important people will attend the fan-fest, a lot more than chunin exam, security will also be not that tight, we can strike or even capture the nine tails.

Obito: No not right now, we don't have the power to seal the nine tails. And we have to begin with tailors. But we can plan an attack during the event. But Akatsuki cannot be implicated. Use the white Zetsu clones to create chaos during the event and if possible, murder some of the important foreigners, creating more chaos for Konoha.

Black Zetsu: As you say Madara.

....

Orochimaru: Kukukuku, Naruto-kun, it seems your power has reached a dangerous level. With your Uzumaki lineage, you can be my perfect vessel, your bad luck for being a jinchuriki. I am not going to fight those from Akatsuki for your body when I have my precious Sasuke-kun as a body. Kukuku

Orochimaru licked his kunai as he threw it towards Sasuke's photo.

Maybe it was just a coincidence but the Kupiercedrced the photo at the point which contains Sasuke's crotch.

Maybe it was just a coincidence but the Kunai pierced the photo at the point which contains Sasuke's crotch.
